I like the Bulls tonight. Even though it looks like Chicago is overmatched, I still think we get a Game 7.

They scored 9 points in 16 minutes and 14 seconds. Just say that to yourself slowly.
It's unbelievable. You can't expect to give up 20-2, 16-0, 11-0 runs once or twice a game and win a series. This isn't the fukking Milwaukee Bucks. I guess it's a fitting end to their schizo season.
All that said they had this series in game 4. They had the lead in the series, a double digit lead in the game with a quarter and a few seconds to go, the 2 best players on the other team playing horribly and injured, and they gave it away. Just one of those things I'll have to live with all summer.
That's the kind of thing the Clippers tend to do to me, looks like another team has joined the party. I'm staying well away from chasing anything on the late game. I might not even watch it til tomorrow to prevent that from happening.
It's just disappointing really. I'm still on a big run, +4600 to end the regular season, +4700 in the playoffs (well, let's say +4000 since the Rockets will lose tonight), +1000 in other sports in that stretch. That's still a near 5 figure positive run. But this shit is really important to me now, more than you'd think. I can't be satisfied with anything. Cashing that play would've been just huge.
It's soon gonna be time to start doing stupid parlays on tennis when Roland Garros starts in 10 days or so. Who knows, maybe I can get bailed out again and get a 5 figure winner to forget about this shit. One thing is for sure, I won't rest until I get the 18 grand I consider I should've won from this shit. Every fukking cent of it.Comment -
Yea pathetic offense there man. Their offense is so anemic that I think it made Cleveland look a little better than they actually are.
I actually think Cleveland could be in for a tough series next round.Comment -
Worst thing about the Bulls loss of the series is that the Cavs were really shaky throughout and got bailed ot time and time again by their role players, but the Bulls played waaay below their potential since the 2nd half of game 4.
Wiz, Hawks look like pure fade material though.Last edited by freeeze; 05-14-15, 10:07 PM.Comment -
Depends who they face. A full strength Washington team could give them fits and the odds def won't be worth it on the Cavs.
If they play the Hawks I'll hammer Cavs series price -160 or whatever for at least 10 units.
I'm considering adding on to my Wizards series price bet. Gives me a relatively cheap shot at getting more money back.
Casually watching the Rockets and Clips, don't think there's much danger of going into chase mode. Who knows, maybe Houston can do it.Comment -
Why do all the biggest mushes on the site have to take the same plays as me? Should've known Bulls were cooked when JJ took them and of course the ultimate kiss of death tonight with Seaweed on them too
And now Santa on the Rockets

Well I kinda look like a jerk now lol.
Incredible. Just incredible. Now the question is do I take the miracle and hedge before game 7 or do I ride it out?Comment -
Seto I'm curious who you like for Game 7.Comment -
Grizzlies+5 -101 (5dimes) (risking 5.05x to win 5x)Comment -
Yesterday: 0-4, -14.45x
Total: 204-320-11, +67.71x
This may not be my worst season ever, but it sure as hell has been by far the most frustrating one. I don't know what's up with these ups and downs. I've never experienced a season or any period of time like this. It's like the world wants to fukk with my mind.
Start the playoffs up 2 grand or so over the first few days, lose 4 or so the next few days, win 9.5 over a few weeks, then lose 5 in 2 days...
I mean some guys will say I'm still up 2.5 in the playoffs over all that nonsense (and 2 over the course of the whole season, unfortunately the +67.71x does not account for the 2 times the Bulls have cost me a big future, and other futures and live plays which went ok), but I had very different ambitions for this season and particularly for the playoffs.
Cavs series is -220. No way to make money there. Just fukking great.Comment -
Ohhh boy... every game we tought would go to game, finished in 6...
Clippers that were supposed to win in 5 or 6, are going to game 7....Comment -
Yes those game 6's were tough. Historically they're games in which I don't do well I think. Most of my worst experiences in gambling are in game 6's. And the only good memory I have of a game 6 was a fukking miracle (the Ray Allen game).
Regardless, we have easy matchups now. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what will happen. The Cavs will easily beat this awful Atlanta team. The Warriors had their one test and will possibly not lose again this season. Not even kidding. I definitely don't think they're going to lose more than 1 game per series.
I just hope the Rockets send these fukking Clipper clowns packing tomorrow. Will help me cash my Rockets series bet and not give the Clippers any kind of chance to annoy me in the WCF.
I put 30 units on the Warriors to win it all and 15 on the Cavs and Warriors to meet in the Finals this morning. Would be shocked if I had to sweat either. Not gonna overcomplicate anything now. I may not even bet another game. Will just add plays on the Warriors and Cavs to win their series in 4 or 5 games and a play on the Warriors to win the finals in 4 or 5.Comment -
I know it might sound stupid, but I actually think the Hawks will make the Cavs sweat. I think GSW winning it all is a foregone conclusion though...they are just too good. I've been saying it even when they were down 2-1 to Memphis. LAC/Houston is a cakewalk matchup compared to Memphis.Comment -
I'd have to see it to believe it. If Nene could have grabbed just one rebound the Hawks would be on holiday right about now. They're just not a good team and that was exposed in these first 2 rounds. People will claim otherwise and cite their regular season record or claim that their best will be on offer in the ECF, just like with the Pacers last season. I don't see it. I really don't. The only team that could have beaten Cleveland in the East was Chicago. Well that and (get ready to call me crazy) a full strength Miami team. It's such a shame we couldn't have a healthy Miami and a healthy OKC in the playoffs this year.Comment -
Seaweed has the Rockets.... FML.Comment -
I agree on the Miami front for sure. I think this series goes 6 at least for some reason (maybe just due to Hawks having homecourt), but am just hoping they can win both Games 1 and 2 at home.Comment -
Clippers still the better team.
I wanted Memphis win game 6, so i could pound warriors game 7.
I predicted Clippers @ Warriors in Western finals, so it is still possible.
It would be a interesting final, since Clippers are better shooting from 3 point line, and that would complicate Warriors game plan.
Let's be honest, that the only plan Warriros have, give th ball to Curry or Thompson.
I hope Cleveland don't get pass Atlanta, did they learn anything from first 2 rounds ?? we will see.Comment -
What do you mean that's the only plan for the Warriors? They get plenty of layups too. They're a great defensive team. They're miles ahead of any team in the league in both offense and defense. The only thing in question here is their championship experience and they were going to get tested by one squad with more experience than them and that was Memphis. Let's be honest here though - Memphis never had a chance in the 4 games they lost. Warriors passed the test with an A+. Now they'll take out the 2 remaining teams with ease.
It's not really a matter of "learning" anything for Atlanta. They're just out-talented here. Simple as that.Comment -
I guess it could go 6. A series can go 6 and never be close. You could have a situation where Cleveland is content to just win one game in Atlanta and win out at home. I'm not really sure though. While LeBron's Miami teams were better than this Cavs team, they tended to fukk around in some games and go through the motions (they were typically an easy fade when up 2-0 in a series). I think these young guys on Cleveland don't know any better than to go all out every game. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a sweep.Comment -
Today: 1-0, +5x
Total: 205-320-11, +72.71x
Series went pretty much exactly as I expected. LOL. In all seriousness I got away with one big time there.
Golden State gets a favorable matchup too. Clippers would have found a way to annoy me. This is a 4-1 series. Calling it now. Warriors over Rockets in 5. Cavs over Hawks in 5. Warriors over Cavs in 5.

I'm celebrating another championship in my country

Don't see what he's really doing wrong. You could actually argue he outcoached Doc but the bottom line is it's down to the players.
Yeah I saw that. Congrats. Our season has been over for about 2 months now. Only officially champs a couple weeks ago but it's been a formality for a while now. All the other teams in our league suck so bad it's fukking embarrassing.Comment -
I don't like Doc either, but is was suposed to him outcoach McHale...
~how can Doc let Clippers lose 3 satright to the Houston ?Comment -
I can't believe the Rockets did what they just did. Probably the last team I would guess to fight back from down 3-1 to win. But if there were a team to give up 3-1 lead, it would be the Clippers.Comment -
That's on Paul Griffin and the others. They blew game 6. Simple as that. This Houston team was DEAD. I mean I said the Cavs were half dead in game 4 and the Bulls gave them life, but that game 6 was a whole other level. You rarely see a team that has looked that dominant in a series do that.
But like I said, the Clippers will invent new ways to lose even when they're in a position when they theoretically can't. That's just who they are as a team. It will probably never change. I gave up on this team after last year's implosion against OKC and looks like I wasn't wrong.Comment -
To be fair to them they almost came back from 3-1 down last year. If Lillard doesn't make that shot they go home for game 7 after trailing 3-1. But yeah I see what you mean. They were dead. It is perhaps being a bit overdone that the Clippers gave it away and Houston deserves little credit, but it's partially true.Comment -

Nice hit. Wow GSW -10 for game 1.Comment -
Yup they are -850 for the series (which makes Cavs/GSW finals about -160) and -162 to win it all. Did well getting about -110 on both.
I'd be nothing short of shocked if everything didn't go according to plan in the remaining 3 series. They still have to play the games though.Comment
